Scientific paper
This is the first in a series of papers on the peculiar irregular dwarf galaxy NGC 1569. In an attempt to clarify the behaviour and nature of this peculiar galaxy the author has started a detailed study of NGC 1569 at optical and radio wavelengths, supplemented by ultraviolet and infrared observations. He presents new ultraviolet and infrared data, and rediscusses data from the literature to obtain a homogeneous set of global parameters for NGC 1569, and in particular the characteristics of its recent burst of star formation. The UV data show that NGC 1569 suffers considerable foreground extinction; this suggests a distance of 2.2±0.6 Mpc.
